Restoring Missing Help/Environment/Plot Panes

It may sometimes appear as though RStudio has lost its rightmost two panes (for instance, you can see the Script and Console panes, but not the Environment or Plot pane).

The cause of this problem is usually that the right panes have been minimized. They can be restored by dragging the gripper that separates the right panes from left panes. The gripper can be found halfway down the window, along the right edge.

The problem is somehow associated with the project I'm working in. If I quit the project, the "gripper" returns, but if I reopen the project, the upper-left pane expands (animated) to occupy the whole window. I can get upper and lower panes with the button in the upper-right, but I can't get left and right panes.
